This 356A is very down in the dumps, it will take a lot of work to restore it to acceptable looks and function, yet we believe it is someone’s dream. The reason is obvious: in fact this is a blank sheet from which you can start for any type of creation. In fact, since the… Read More Carbon look: 1957 Porsche 356 A Coupé
Indeed, for fans of classic Italian cars this is a gem: there are many (so to speak) in the spider version but very few in the coupé version. In the era of the transformations of standard Fiat cars, in which all the Italian (and not only) coachbuilder craftsmen tried their hand, OSI could not be… Read More Silver pearl: 1960 Fiat 1200S Coupé by OSI
Take a 1960 American coupe, make it 1:2 scale and you get a BMW 700 Coupé like this one. Statistics say that just over 9,000 examples of this model were built by the Bavarian factory, but obviously there were much fewer in the USA: after all, the American who bought this car did it to… Read More Little fins: 1960 BMW 700 Sport Coupé
In last week’s article on the Fiat 500 Albarella we mentioned the connection between the concept of yacht and car which led to the creation of that particular line of cars generically called “Spiaggina” (beach car). In this case this connection is even closer. In fact, this car is called the “Shellette” from the name… Read More Longboard not included: 1970 Fiat 850 Shellette
It is a car built entirely in Milan: the Portello factory and the Touring body shop were in fact so close that it was possible to walk from one to the other in half an hour. Yet, the original black license plate is that of Turin, the (once) automobile capital of Italy. In a few… Read More Black plate: 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900C Sprint by Touring
Another day, another Fiat, but once again we are talking about a very special and very rare model. Very special as it is one of the very few (probably a hundred, but it is almost impossible to have a certain number, so we are talking about orders of magnitude) Fiat 600 Viotti in the coupé… Read More Little scorpion: 1956 Fiat 750 Coupé “Derivazione Abarth” by Viotti
Zagato has always built very particular and easily recognizable cars, however – perhaps an unpopular opinion – few of them can be defined as “beautiful” according to our tastes. Of course, this is an opinion (and we all know what people say about opinions) but the point is that Zagato’s construction philosophy was not devoted… Read More Trademark blue: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Zagato
Everyone stop: we know very well that there is no chance that this bodywork was built in 1935, and in fact the seller explains it in great detail. This example was first registered in Como, Italy on 5 January 1935. Subsequently sold to Imperia, Italy, in 1937 it was owned by Count Carlo Bruzzo, a… Read More Oddball: 1935 Lancia Augusta
We knew the sedan, station wagon and rare convertible versions, but we didn’t know of the existence of a coupé version, at least until a few days ago. Maybe we haven’t studied enough, but it’s also true that in years of sifting through tens of thousands of ads from all over the world, we’ve never… Read More Never seen before: 1963 Peugeot 403 Coupé
It is a car that was born black with a red interior, but has the history of previous owners, and one of them liked yellow. However, this 356 has no less charm, indeed, it wears a beautiful patina that should not be erased just to make it one of the many restored and shiny 365As.… Read More Black underwear: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
